Acceptor-type hydroxide graphite intercalation compounds electrochemically formed in high ionic strength solutions†
Abstract
The intercalation of hydroxide ions (OH−) into graphite formed graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) in high ionic strength solutions. GICs of solvated OH− anions with two water molecules (OH−·2H2O) in alkaline aqueous solutions and GICs of only OH− anions in a molten NaOH–KOH salt solution were electrochemically synthesized.
